Random Trope of the Day with a Long View
Medieval Stasis
This is an interesting one, especially when it comes to the Future History I have charted out for the TPverse. The Current human civilization (the 'Second Age') comes to an end during the 22nd Century, at the hands of the rogue AI/Meme Unison, who created the Host, humans bonded into a collective consciousness and spread across the ( Read more... ) -
This week in Too Close to Home
Well, if bloody murder hasn't hit too damn close to home. In addition to the whole Somer Thompson kidnap/murder/whatever else that happened on my usual shortcut route to the mall (take a right off blanding at Kingsley and a left at Debarry, pass Gano , take a right and straight to Wells Road), I've also got the deaths of two young men at Club Myth ( Read more... ) -
Random Trope with Example
Morality Chain
I've always thought that Renee Evangel is the Morality chain for Konoka Suguruzawa. Although Konoka herself seems a good enough person, falling to evil wouldn't be all that difficult or unlikely for her. The best way to explain it is that if Renee were to go evil, Konoka would follow, but that if Konoka were to go evil, Renee would ( Read more... ) -
List of Dropped Plot names
the following is a list of Plot names dropped for various reasons, including just being lame.
During the Planning phase of Graduation Day/Continuity Crisis, I went through several ideas, including recalculations of the scope of the Crisis, and the length, before deciding on a 4 part sequence culminating the plots of The Fall of the Hero Corps, ( Read more... ) -
On Stated Goals, Etc
I'm currently trying to decide if my capstone post in the Rage of the Elements: Interlude of Gatherings should be one massive post (OMP?) or split into two very large posts--frankly, my goal is 15,000 words in a single post, covering a large area but all tied together (as opposed to unrelated events linked by being in the same post) by area and ( Read more... ) -
Apocalypse Wow
First a note-->post-arc sequence titled Breaking Dawn has been officially retitled To Alter Eternity, with no further changes to the story notes (ie, To Alter Eternity, To Alter Eternity: Tribulations), although I have been kicking around a few ideas. It is quite possible that ADVENT references will pop up within TAE ( Read more... ) -
Character Studies
For the currently ongoing Summer Homework Filler Episodes arc I've been writing I've been having to spend alot of time thinking about the group of characters that have come together and how they relate to each other and to the world around them. You have the Miyamoto siblings, Yuuji and Chikaru, members of the combined Martial Arts Club and Drama ( Read more... ) -
The Ebbs and Flow of Plot
And as Ideas are born, the full tapestry of time within the TPverse is more revealed....
First! Summer Homework Filler Episodes brings some of the cast from Bittersweet Memories by Seaside back for an encore performance, as a series of short stories set around the last two days of summer and finishing homework.
Second! Rage of the Elements: ( Read more... ) -
The April Fool
Am I socially awkward? Most certainly. I've had trouble making friends for as long as I can remember, being as I've never quite understood body language in any meaningful manner, and I have little to no sympathy for anyone. At work I've long since felt that I'm just going through the motions, responding to situations based on routine, based ( Read more... ) -
I have seen Watchmen
And it was good. Not perfect, but about as close as the unfilmable graphic novel is ever going to come. I do hope however that it spikes sales of the Watchmen graphic novel and helps greenlight other projects along similar lines.
